News: SMX 2010 in review – blogs/tweets/photos/resources
There’s already a few blog posts and photo galleries appearing, following the success of SMX Sydney 2010. This list is simply a quick attempt to aggregate any resources or post-conference analysis of some of the topics covered. Feel free to shoot me any info, and I’ll add it to the list.
News: SMX 2010 – Day 2: Site Clinic & Harbour Cruise
Wrapping up SMX for 2010 was the famous (infamous??) site clinic – an excuse to get all the speakers up on stage and pick apart a series of web sites for ways to improve their search engine rankings. And also something fun to do to begin to wind down after a very hectic 2 days! In the gallery below, you’ll see the presentation of the iPad to the lucky attendee; the official conference photo; and the ‘Under the Bridge’ Harbour Cruise.

Advice: Management Styles 101
Managers and business owners, gather round. Not sure if you realised, but we all fall into some pretty set routines with our ways of working. Some of the tasks we do can’t be changed, and we’re literally wearing paths in our carpet. Other things we do are varied from day to day – never the same.
To quote some Monty Python, “we’re all individuals” – and yet, we’ve already been ‘classified’ as to the types of managers we are. Management theories list at least four basic styles of management, plus a compliment of industry-specific styles.
What’s important about the following list of management styles is not so much in identifying which style sounds the most like you, but in looking at the other styles, to see if there could be benefits to you, your staff, and your business.
